A new farm shop, complete with a coffee shop and deli, could be opened at a popular city garden centre after the scheme was given the go-ahead.

The new building at Pughs’s garden village on Ty Nant Road, Morganstown, Cardiff , has received permission from planners.

While planning permission was given for a new building last year, there were issues with the positioning of Welsh Water pipes.

Plans for a new building have been created so that access to a manhole for those drainage pipes can be maintained.

The application reads: “The materials and design reflect those already approved and which have been introduced on the more recent buildings such as the new building at the site entrance developed in recent years”.

The new building will contain both retail space as well as a delicatessen counter and butchery.

In total it will be 214 sq m.

It will also include a new coffee bar with internal seating and patio seating area.

The new building will be built largely on the area previously occupied by the shed and outbuilding display area.

But the applicant, Carolyn Jones – from Carolyn Jones Planning Services – says that the area was cramped and “did not lend itself to customer circulation or indeed allow for the goods to be properly displayed. The rationalisation of the site has therefore been a major improvement to the site”.

Ms Jones adds: “The design of the proposed building reflects the recently developed redevelopment of the rugby club into the coffee shop and the redesigned garden centre entrance/office building adjacent to Ty Nant Road.

“The designs of these existing buildings together with the currently proposed building are sympathetic to their surroundings”.
